Bilge Pump -Auto or???

[dixon5553]

Anyone know if a 2004 205 Sundowner has an automatic bilge pump, I believe it does but I don't see any mention of this in the Owner's Manual - thanks

It's beneath your engine. Stick your phone down in there and video to get name/numbers, etc.

Automatic in the sense that it has a float switch to turn the pump on as needed . . . Yes, most/all boats have them. What is the nature of your question?

After 21 years, it most likely has been replaced at least once. Is it still an OEM model?

Your bilge switch should be 3 way if installed by factory , off , on and automatic. Locate pump and look for float switch that should be very close to it . Some pumps don't have float switches , they are internal or have a water sensor in them ( dislike that style ,constantly running ) . Usually they are smaller volume pumps .

Is it colored RED, WHITE and BLUE ? Might be a Rule Computer controlled pump. They normally have 3 wires coming out. Computer dies after 2 summers of use. Faster if winterised with battery still connected.
